Registration opens for Urban Spaces Tour

Folks can now register for the Downtown Alliance’s Urban Spaces Tour on Nov. 19. It’s a must for anyone with an affection for our downtown, and my favorite event of the alliance’s. Tours of about 25 are led into buildings and establishments often inaccessible to the general public, either in downtown proper or a surrounding neighborhood. This year, the tour concentrates in downtown’s center, and could include new exhibit space Blue Star Lab, the remodeled Hyatt Regency, and a private residence which overlooks Alamo Plaza.

In recent years, the UST has taken folks inside the private residences of the Lavaca neighborhood, the Vidorra, the three-story suite atop the Vistana, The Morris apartment building’s penthouse and the Alameda Theater.

Tours are about two hours, and start every 30 minutes between 4-8 p.m. The tour includes food and alcohol.

Tickets $55 per person, $100 per couple for DTA members; $60 per person, $110 per couple for nonmembers; $25 students; $35 active-duty military. Group discounts available. Space is limited. Online pre-registration is required. Click here to register and for more information.
